Examples

The following example parses an XML fragment. Each node is displayed, including its depth, line number, and line position.

#using <System.Xml.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace System::Xml;
int main()
{
   
   // Create the XML fragment to be parsed.
   String^ xmlFrag = "<book>\n"
   "<misc>\n"
   "<style>paperback</style>\n"
   "<pages>240</pages>\n"
   "</misc>\n"
   "</book>\n";
   
   // Create the XmlNamespaceManager.
   XmlNamespaceManager^ nsmgr = gcnew XmlNamespaceManager( gcnew NameTable );
   
   // Create the XmlParserContext.
   XmlParserContext^ context = gcnew XmlParserContext( nullptr,nsmgr,nullptr,XmlSpace::None );
   
   // Create the reader.
   XmlValidatingReader^ reader = gcnew XmlValidatingReader( xmlFrag,XmlNodeType::Element,context );
   IXmlLineInfo^ lineInfo = (dynamic_cast<IXmlLineInfo^>(reader));
   if ( lineInfo->HasLineInfo() )
   {
      
      // Parse the XML and display each node.
      while ( reader->Read() )
      {
         switch ( reader->NodeType )
